10:01 am
hello and welcome to our team this tuesday i'm karen tara and it's six o'clock here in moscow now moscow does believe that syria has chances of reaching peace despite parliament's inside and outside the country syria's ongoing crisis and ways of ending the bloodshed came under scrutiny for top syrian officials in moscow and across the atlantic president obama said washington could use military action if there's any sign the syrian government much tried to deploy its chemical or biological weapons for more on this now we're joined by our tease of lucy call phonology live from moscow to see how do the statements by barack obama fit in with moscow position that there should be no unilateral action taken against syria. well clearly karen it goes quite against moscow's position moscow has continued to insist that a political process towards peace is originated and settled within syria by syrians by the factions involved in the syrian civil war that's been escalating for nearly
10:02 am
eighteen months now and president barack obama's comments really caused quite a global stir when he effectively said that the country would be willing to reconsider its opposition to military intervention if the government of president bashar al assad if he uses chemical or biological weapons the top a syrian a negotiator who's in moscow for these talks had called the discussion of chemical weapons by the west as a pretext for intervention and potential invasion it certainly doesn't sound like that based on president obama's comments but we do have to keep in mind that syria does maintain a rather large stockpile of of both the chemical and biological weapons and the syrian government has threatened to use those if the country comes under for an attack so the best we could demise from all this is a lot of saber rattling by both politicians within syria by president obama but of course saber rattling that could have devastating implications for a peaceful negotiation to the crisis which is what moscow has been pushing for essentially all along that has been echoed by foreign minister sergey lavrov today
10:03 am
when he met with the syrian delegation on tuesday in moscow where he said the best that the west could do the best that external forces would have interest in syria could do is create a condition for internal talks to take place by the different factions pelosi you are standing right outside the foreign ministry what do you think is the outcome or what could be the outcome of these talks in moscow. well cautious optimism from the russian foreign minister where he said there is hope some hope for potential national reconciliation on the ground within syria but he did also warned that there's the if there's a lot of factions both within and outside of the country who do not want to see a political solution to this crisis the. crisis has gone on for so long that that perhaps some sides have have morphed to their opinion public opinion against a potential settlement of the war we did hear from both the syrians who are visiting in moscow and the russian foreign minister that there is an effort being
10:04 am
made to bring a various sides to the negotiating table we did hear the syrian delegation say that they are welcoming any any members of the opposition who wish to negotiate will be welcome to their concerns will be heard out but of course it's easy to sort of sit here in the comfort of moscow and say one thing whereas it remains to be seen how the actual situation will play out on the ground and if the syrian government will stick to the commitments that they have indicated they're making here and moscow we also have to keep in mind that the situation isn't just about what's going on within syria there are external forces who are a exerting influence in that country we've heard a lot of reports about arms being smuggled across the border through libya for the opposition and effectively a radicalization of the escalating conflict so while all sides do seem to hope for some sort of a political solution it it's very difficult to see at this point whether that will actually play out on the ground all right without a live update from moscow or tease lucy coffin off and you can follow her at
10:05 am
twitter at lucy confidence thank you. all right while the ongoing violence has instigated a mass exodus of syrians into neighboring countries the u.n. says at least one hundred seventy thousand people have already fled artie's falsely or reports from the jordanian border. security here is tight and border controls are very very effective and this is a way for a man to deal with the growing influx of syrian refugees into this country now according to jordanian estimates at least one hundred and fifty thousand syrian refugees are currently in jordan they're being housed him if he camps along this border and the jordanian government has build forts in the process of building another one but the situation in those camps is alarming and has caused humanitarian groups to talk about a humanitarian crisis we know that the camps are overcrowded people there have little to no access to water and electricity at the same time to the closest was broken out of the jordanian health ministry is talking about health risks they were
10:06 am
clashes last week between some of those refugees trying to break out of those camps because they actually can't leave them without permission now the violence is starting to spill over to jordan just monday there were four shells that landed here one of them badly hurt a young or jordanian golden a number of people were rushed to hospital so that as the syrian violence creeps closer and closer into neighboring jordan. foreign intervention doesn't always bring peace and stability to a country ravaged by a bloody and terminal conflict as we discover shortly warnings that libya should brace itself for a surge of violence after the recent wave of bombings. well police in the czech republic are investigating a man suspected of planning a copycat massacre and the one carried out by norwegian spreading last year weapons and police uniforms were discovered in his apartment just days before brevik is due to hear the verdict for killing seventy seven people in two attacks and exceed
10:07 am
a chef ski has the story. and off weaponry and explosives to kill dozens of people that was the discovery of the czech police when they raided at twenty nine year old man's apartment in the city of straw the man was reported by his neighbors to have some mental problems that's why the police decided to take action and later they arrested this man he was carrying a remote detonator for an explosive device on him when he was detained but it's also been revealed by the czech police that an explosive device made of an aircraft bomb was found in his apartment and they did it could have killed dozens of people it was believed to be a very powerful explosive device of several kilograms of explosives in it the police are now does not reveal and does not know what this man's intentions were but it already has all the reasons to believe that the man was a sympathizer of the killer from norway on this break who is due to have his verdict delivered this week sources within the interior ministry of the czech
10:08 am
republic report that this man used a brave as he is on the internet in different forums and different social networks for now the police is trying to determine whether there have been any connection between the detained man and himself now with no little about this man for now that a few pictures have been released by. the czech media this man detained and cuffs on him being put in a police car but for now the police are trying to keep all the information secret regarding this man so that he won't have any more followers and they're trying to determine whether he actually had any more followers or if he was blending through acts alone this is our team and still to come anonymous calls u.k. government websites some purchase struck at the hands of the notorious hackers and retaliation for britain's treatment wiki leaks founder julian assange. plus abandoned and sometimes beat the moves to protect russian orphans or dr brawley
10:09 am
their stories are here in a few minutes. washington is being internationally for turning to al qaida style tactics by using follow up strikes in its pakistan drone writes the attacks target those who arrive at the initial scene to help victims multiple american missiles have killed over a dozen people in pakistan in the last few days in areas the u.s. claims are full of militants got it she can has the story. the u.s. prides itself on the rule of law but on a number of issues the line between what's legal and what's not has kind of blurred in the last decade or so is wiretapping legal no but in the name of national security yes there are attempts right now in congress to legalize big brother on the web by making it legal for providers to funnel all private correspondence to national security agencies the law in the u.s. protects free speech but never before has there been such a hunt for whistleblowers that's in america but as far as u.s.
10:10 am
actions abroad the issue of what's legal and what's not even murkier washington has expanded its target assassinations program in different countries essentially putting itself above the law now i'm joined by john feffer author and co-director of the institute for policy studies he has an interesting theory of u.s. foreign policy he compares it to dexter the t.v. show dexter is a fictional character who is a good citizen by day and a serial killer by night but he only kills bad guys for what's so wrong about being dexter i mean everyone loves dexter it's a very popular t.v. show here in the united states and all across the world but difficult moral questions because of course dexter is judge jury and executioner and sometimes he makes mistakes and the united states too is in a similar position united states often says it only kills the bad guys of some of
10:11 am
the. other figures that have been attacked by drones over the last few years but the united states also makes mistakes there have been any number of civilian casualties associated with these drone strikes so in some sense they're in a similar moral quandary dexter and the u.s. government as you said you know there's administration has expanded its drone program dramatically and the strikes in pakistan yemen and other places they end up killing many civilians we're talking about extra judicial killings. and here's a question that pops out. you know when when someone does something outside the law they're usually afraid of getting caught but in the case of the us who is the police to catch them and there is no police is there well there isn't any police of course there are international laws and there have been a number of reports on the implications of international law on the drone attacks and the un for instance report tour has condemned drone attacks as being illegal
10:12 am
but i think the chief concern here for the united states in terms of getting caught is being caught by blowback in other words by the consequences of these drone attacks and those i think are significant because of course we've seen people here in the united states who have cited these drone attacks as the reasons for their terrorist activities for instance so i think it's blowback which really represents the casualty or shall we say the consequences that are most direct the drone program. one retired senior pakistani air force officer told us that the tactics america is using and its fight with terrorism a while back. the information which is being given out is very sketchy because especially since two thousand and nine the united states seems to have changed the rules. and the able bodied. who can become sort of their militant will be considered militant in respect of the fact. but the
10:13 am
fact is that the relatives of the victims are approached by the terrorists and. for their lives have been targeted and killed it is high time that you can take a revenge and in fact the number of terrorists who are being groomed and recruited in this way is rising so it is not just a double edged sword it is counterproductive and it is increasing terrorism rather than reducing it. when says it won't extradite julian assange to a third country if there was a risk he'd face the death penalty there and justice ministry made the comments to a german newspaper london wants to hand to sweden to face sex crimes accusations but the wiki leaks editor fears he could then end up on trial in the u.s. over the release of american diplomatic cables assad has been hiding for two months and the london embassy of ecuador which has granted him asylum britain says it will not let him safely leave it soil and have threatened to break into the embassy to
10:14 am
arrest a sounds at all his present have more in such act diplomatic so the internet happier group known as anonymous managed to temporarily take down several government websites over the treatment of assad's. anonymous is doing that has been going on there so it's very beginning. name. because he has this organization has become one of the most driving forces in something very very positive but necessary. arrangements as we used to be you know of mindset between citizenry and their governments that's why this is always been a major issue that i missed and why what would seem to be actually when we see the behavior of the sort we've seen from britain for instance ago was too weak to say such things as alligators not acknowledge you believe you applied to another nation
10:15 am
a government that's up to the office of the west has indeed has forged but in terms of diplomatic policy you know the fact that william hague would say something about a faction shows us what who we're dealing with the terms of our grazing if we're going to have to do so you know we're always the very very happy that people have many many options by which to get involved in this situation which one side is very obviously a good idea come about and the other side is engaging in a stall but those. it's not the only hack attack on the move at the moment as we report. looking back to you as hackers head out the jailing. may be the world's most valuable company at the moment but it's not the biggest ever details of history's tactile that's now a shadow of its former self all. is

10:17 am
authorities ensure the security of its diplomatic mission there that's after an egyptian diplomats car was blown up in the city of benghazi and just a day after a twin bomb attack left two people dead in the libyan capital the authorities blame loyalists of the deposed leader moammar gadhafi to have been arrested libya remains on stable since the nato backed popular uprising resulted. last year and the editor of a new york investigative newspaper blackstar here believes the latest violence but in other thoughts is an interest in the chaos and the country. it's not definitely know who could be behind these kind of actions i think what might be disturbing is that normally when these kind of activities start they don't just and so sadly there could be such more actions similar explosions in the days and months
10:18 am
to come and judging by the situation on the ground it's not clear that things are any better in libya today than before the nature intervention i think there's a rush to try to create a semblance of normalcy you really cannot have stability without addressing the issues of the weapons that are widely available at the end of the day the people that really exercise power in libya today are the arm militias there was some talk in the international criminal court that nato would have to be brought to account for what amounted to war crimes who is going to address those issues so rather than focusing on the proposed trial of the son of qaddafi that's really addressed the more serious issues the destruction on libya that was caused by the nato who is going to compensate libyans for the lives that were lost and the property that were destroyed that to me seems to be a much more serious issue and then the proposed trial of one of qaddafi surviving sons. all right time now for some other news making international headlines

a car evolved near a police station in southeast turkey has killed at least nine people including four children and moved it scores of others the kurdistan workers party was suspected of the attack which comes from making tents upon clashes between turkish troops and kurdish rebels who are fighting for an autonomous region but the group denies carrying out the bombing. a gun battle in lebanon's northern city of tripoli has left at least two dead and several others wounded because a number of clashes between supporters and opposers the regime in neighboring syria the military moved in to quell the fighting on both sides but it later started. an insurgent attack on a u.s. air base in afghanistan damaged the plane of america's top military officer general martin dempsey was not near the aircraft at the time but two maintenance crew were slightly injured dempsey was in kabul to discuss the recent wave of so-called
